An Expert Explains: Lockdown-unlockdown debate
In the midst of the rising numbers of people getting infected and dying from the novel coronavirus, voices in favour of reopening social and economic activities are also becoming louder.
With the number of positive cases across the country having crossed 90,000, and with more than 2,600 people dead, policymakers are grappling with difficult choices. The economy is struggling on all fronts, from skyrocketing unemployment to nosediving financial resources, which are vital to jump-start economic activities.
The massive migration of labour, and the numbers of stranded people swarming the roads, will be one of the defining socio-economic events of our times — and governments face the challenge of responding simultaneously to great human misery and a risk-laden infection super-spreader event. Read more here

States want more relaxations in lockdown 4.0
As the Centre mulled easing some strict curbs in the fourth phase of the shutdown from Monday, state governments favoured more relaxations in lockdown restrictions for scaling up economic activities in non-containment coronavirus zones. However, some states including Punjab, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Assam and Telangana are in favour of extending the lockdown till the end of this month and have asked for powers to decide the zoning of districts — green, orange and red – as per the Covid-19 situation.
On Friday, while the Mizoram government announced it was extending the lockdown till May 31, Bihar, on the other hand, urged the Centre to continue the unprecedented measure till the month-end besides keeping rail and air traffic, other than the “Shramik Special’ trains for migrant labourers and evacuation flights, suspended during the period.
